BWF World Tour Finals 2023 opens on December 13
The badminton team will participate in the King of Kings Tournament, which concludes this year. Leading runners from each event, including world number one women’s singles Ahn Se-young (Samsung Life Insurance), will challenge for the championship.
The ‘HSBC Badminton World Federation (BWF) World Tour Finals 2023’, a badminton competition, will be held in Hangzhou, China from the 13th to the 17th of next month.
The total prize money is 2.5 million dollars, which is equivalent to 3.225 billion won in Korean money. The eight players (teams) with the best results in five events at this year’s international badminton competition can participate in the competition. Only two people (team) from one country can participate.
The matchup will be announced on the 11th of next month. After eight players (teams) are divided into two groups and play a league match, the top two players (teams) advance to the semifinals tournament to determine the king of the kings.
Badminton star Ahn Se-young is aiming for her second win since 2021. In 2021, he won the first Finals of his career thanks to Dae Jin-woon, and this time he enters the competition as the world No. 1.
The aftereffects of the injury are a concern. He recovered from a ruptured knee tendon in the Hangzhou Asian Games finals, but failed to win the two competitions he competed in after returning. The key is whether he can regain his former skills before the King of Kings.
In addition to Se-young Ahn, Ga-eun Kim (Samsung Life Insurance) is also likely to compete in the women’s singles. If world number two Akane Yamaguchi (Japan), who is known to have not recovered from her injury, does not participate, Ga-eun Kim may qualify.
In the women’s doubles, Lee So-hee (Incheon Airport) – Baek Hana (MG Saemaeul Geumgo) and Kim So-young (Incheon Airport) – Gong Hee-yong (Jeonbuk Bank) will participate. Kim So-young and Kong Hee-yong, like Ahn Se-young, will also challenge for the championship in two years following 2021.
Seungjae Seo (Samsung Life Insurance) and Minhyuk Kang (Samsung Life Insurance) will participate in the men’s doubles.
In the mixed doubles, Seo Seung-jae and Chae Yu-jeong (Incheon Airport) and Kim Won-ho (Samsung Life Insurance) and Jeong Na-eun (Hwasun County Office) will play. He failed to qualify for the men’s singles.
